Operating Instructions

4.2.2 Advanced Settings

To get to the ADVANCED CONFIGURATION settings for recording:

1.Open the MENU and scroll down to the ADVANCED CONFIG.

2.Select the RECORD option.

There are a number of options that you can configure or engage here, such as:

1.Engaging the manual record override. This will make the DVR record constantly, regardless of whether TIMER RECORD or MOTION RECORD modes are engaged.

2.Activating or deactivating the EVENT RECORDING and TIMER RECORDING modes. If these are deactivated, the conditions specified in the QUICK START menu will not trigger the DVR to record.

3.EVENT RECORD IPS / TIMER RECORD IPS – you are able to configure custom IPS settings for different recording modes here. In addition, the highest applicable setting takes effect. For example, you could set the DVR to record for a period at 3 images per second and when it detects motion, increase the IPS to a much higher setting.

4.OVERWRITE: You can disable the default overwrite mode of the DVR. When OVERWRITE is set to OFF, and the DVR hard drive fills up, it will simply stop recording, rather than record over the oldest footage first (its default behaviour).

4.3Programming the Timer

To most efficiently use the DVR, it is important to set the timer carefully. The instructions that follow cover setting the timer for both TIMER RECORDING and EVENT RECORDING modes.

1.Open the MENU.

2.From the QUICK START page, select either the RECORD TIMER or the EVENT TIMER (whichever you want to set – you can set both to operate at once, but you must program each separately).

3.Set the applicable TIMER status to ON. Then, whilst ON is highlighted, press . The following window will appear:
